As an aside, the Debian kFreeBSD project 
(http://www.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd-gnu/ yes, thats Debian on top of 
FreeBSD's kernel) supply a Xenified BSD kernel image in their apt repository.

It's possible to build a root filesystem for from a Linux dom0 using the 
Crosshurd tool (http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/crosshurd).  This 
tool can also be used to build Debian kNetBSD root filesystems and to build 
Linux root filesystems (it can also build Hurd filesystems but that won't run 
on Xen).

Of course this doesn't help you get a "normal" BSD system up and running.  It 
might be fun to play with though.

Cheers,
Mark
